I recently got my computer back from the shop to have a very nasty
hostageware removed. When I started up my system I got a message saying my
copy of the OS might be counterfit. This is obviously because when the shop
repaired my OS they used their copy of Win XP and so my product key has be
lost or obscured.
I have my own copy of Win XP and the Product Key is printed on the envelop.
Can anyone tell me where I go to at MS to resolve this or perhaps how I
reenter my product key on my own machine? When I went to the apropriate MS
site, all that was available was the option to purchase a new OS. I need to
get this resolved because one of the first things I have to do is redownload
the latest copy of Win Media Player because my systen says mine is installed
incorrectly or is corrupt. I suspect the MS download site will not like my
instalation and refuse to let me proceed.
Any help on this will be greatly appiciated. Thank you.
